An inventor claims to have devised a closed cyclic engine which exchanges heat with cold and hot reservoirs at 25 and 350 ◦C, re

spectively, and produces 0.45 kJ of work for every kJ of heat extracted from the hot reservoir. Is this claim believable?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

T_{c} = 25^{o}C,  T_{h} = 350^{o}C

Work produced per kJ of heat extracted from hot reservoir = 0.45 kJ = Efficiency

If the device is Carnot cycle then its efficiency will be maximum and its value will be equal to [1 - (\frac{T_{c}}{T_{h}} )]

Using this relation we will calculate the efficiency as follows.

                 Efficiency = [1 - (\frac{T_{c}}{T_{h}} )]

                        = 1 - (\frac{25}{350})

                       = 0.928

Hence, it means that this type of device is possible and the claim is also believable.

How much calcium hydroxide in grams is needed to produce 1.5 l of a 0.25m solution?
Vesna [10]
The  mass    ca(Oh)2  needed  to  produce  1.5 l  of  0.25 solution  is  calculated  as follows
find  moles
 
=moles   = molarity   x  volume

moles is therefore =   1.5  x 0.25  =  0.375  moles

mass  =  moles  x  molar  mass
0.375mol  x  74.09 g/mol  =  27.78  grams

Are metal and non-metal elements typically ionically bonded? Explain.
victus00 [196]

<u>Answer:</u> Yes, metals and non-metals forms ionic bonds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

<u>For Example:</u> Formation of sodium chloride

Sodium is a metal and is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^1

To form Na^{+} ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Chlorine is a non-metal and is the 17th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^23p^5.

To form Cl^{-} ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the compound formed between sodium and chlorine atom is NaCl

Hence, metals and non-metals forms ionic bonds.
